“A person who buys a property should not have to join the HOA, it should be a choice.”

Absolutely! Call it a “Right to Reside” law.

[morphing libertarian]

The person who originally built the properties has that right to make that determination.

Don’t buy there.

HOA is usually locked into the deed.
